Harry Kane has already scored two penalties at the World Cup
England face Colombia in the World Cup last 16 knowing penalties could be required as they aim to reach the quarter-finals.
The Three Lions have the worst shootout record in the tournament’s history, having lost all three of the ones they have been involved in (West Germany 1990, Argentina 1998 and Portugal 2006).
Manager Gareth Southgate says he has been working since March to prepare his side for such an eventuality, adding that it is important his players “own the situation”.
